A '''final boss''' (sometimes referred to as a '''last boss''') is the term used to describe the last [[boss]] in a video game, or a mode within a game. The [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]] is no stranger to this idea, with most games in the series utilizing bosses, and by extension final bosses.

Often, [[Extra Mode]]s also have their own final bosses, whether it be a complete unique boss or a variant of the Story Mode's final boss. On few occasions, the "true" final boss of a game's Story Mode can only be accessed once a certain milestone has been reached, with the penultimate boss of the game only being a final boss in the [[bad ending]].

| | |Realizing that his ritual has failed after being defeated by [[Kirby]] and his [[Helper|friends]], [[Hyness]] offers himself and [[The Three Mage-Sisters]] to the [[Jamba Heart]] to revive his dark lord, the '''Destroyer of Worlds''': '''[[Void Termina]]'''. Luckily, a [[Friend Platform]] falls from the sky, and [[spear of the heart|spears of the heart]] transform the [[Friend Star]] into the [[Star Allies Sparkler]]. The heroes meet up with Void Termina, who begins attacking them using shockwaves created by his massive body an creating [[Power Effect|elemental]] swords, but Kirby fights back by using the Star Allies Sparkler to maneuver around in 3D and shoot the eyes that appear on his body. Eventually, Void Termina's mask falls off, the fallen down body sucking Kirby and friends to expose his interior. The heroes attack the insides while avoiding strange attacks, also freeing Hyness and the mages. After getting launched out, Void Termina forms giant wings and begins using large elemental bows, and shooting lasers from [[Master Crown|giant crowns]]. Using the same strategy, the team enters his body again, coming across Void Termina's true form, a purple sphere who begins resembling the faces of Kirby, [[Dark Matter]], and [[0²]], using many familiar attacks like [[Bound Pound]], [[Black Hole]], and [[Miracle Matter]]'s [[Needle]] attack, even brainwashing Kirby's friends. Eventually, everyone is kicked out again, including Void Termina, who begins laser-dueling the Star Allies Sparkler. Desperately, Kirby uses the his power to summon ghostly versions of all of his friends to finally destroy Void Termina. The first four phases of this boss also appear at the end of [[The Ultimate Choice|Infernal Crisis]]. | ||
